Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery Warning
●This equipment contains a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery.
●Cadmium is a chemical known to the State of California to
cause cancer.
●The rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery contained in this
equipment may explode if disposed of in a fire.
●Do not short-circuit the battery.
●Do not charge the rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery used in

Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries Must Be Recycled or
Disposed of Properly
●Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC®industry program
to collect and recycle nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of
their useful life, when taken out of service within the United
States. The RBRC®program provides a convenient alternative to
placing used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or
municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas.
●Through the RBRC®program, Uniden makes it easy for you to
drop off the used battery at local retailers of replacement
nickel-cadmium batteries. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to return the used
battery. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd
battery recycling in your area. Uniden’s involvement in this
program is part of its commitment to protecting our
environment and conserving natural resources.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Important Electrical
Considerations
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical
storm is approaching. Lightning can pass through your
household wiring and damage any device connected to it. This
phone is no exception.
Warning!
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an
electrical storm.
The FCC Wants You To Know
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved
by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as
detailed by the owner’s manual, could void your authority to
operate this product. The equipment cannot be used on public
coin phone service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact
the state public utility commission, public service commission or
corporation commission for information.)
Range
Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible
range by transmitting and receiving according to the highest
specifications set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to
operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the
range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is
used. Many factors limit range, and it would be impossible to
include all the variables in our rating. The Maximum Range
rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of
comparison against other range claims.
Telephone Line Problems
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to
disconnect service in the event that your phone causes problems on
the telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make
changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation of
your unit. However, your telephone company must give adequate
notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for
making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must
first disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your
problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it
disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literatureaccompanyingtheappliance.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming
in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This
interference is caused by external sources such as TV,
refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical
storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and
are too distracting, please check around your home to see what
appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we
recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also
powers a major appliance because of the potential for
interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully
extended when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or
distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving
radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of
interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you
need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate
at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and
VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or
VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate
the interference.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your
home, they must operate on different channels. Press the channel
key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
Cordless Telephone Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between
the handset and base of your cordless telephone are
accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over
the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of
radio waves, your communications can be received by radio
receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit.
Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone
may not be private.
Installation Considerations
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:
●The location should be close to both a phone jack and
continuous power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC
outlet which does not have a switch to interrupt its power.)
●Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical
noise such as motors or fluorescent lighting.
●Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base
antenna.
●The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a
standard AT&T or GTE wall plate.
●You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before
completing the installation or using the handset.
Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone
cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into
this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact
your local telephone company for information about their
installation.
Hardwired Jack
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these
types of installations require a modular jack converter. This type
of installation is not difficult; however, you should contact your
Uniden telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for advice
about the proper adapter or converter for your particular
situation.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone
cords:
Caution!
●Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
●Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless
the telephone line has been disconnected.
●Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Applying Power to the Base
This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt
power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC
plug when the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power
cord around the strain relief notch on the bottom of the base.
NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip
hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a fire or
other electrical hazards.
Adapter Safety Features
If the AC adapter
furnished with this
phone has a
polarized line plug
(a plug having one
blade wider than the
other), this plug will fit
into the power outlet
only one way. If
you are unable to
insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
Do not alter the shape of the blades of the polarized plug!
NOTE: If you cannot plug the AC adapter into the outlet, contact
someone about replacing the outlet.
Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.
Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.
Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with
this phone.
